And with the slaying of his beloved girlfriend, Buggs swears a lifetime of constant torture and humiliation upon Daffy. "DUCK SEASON!"

I am red/green colorblind. But the girl rabbit (pearls) in the last panel looks brown. It may be grey, in which case I apologize for the question. The girl bunny in the first panel (dress) is white. So there does not appear to be a link between the characters in the first panel and the last. Is the duck simply burning the forest and striking out against all rabbits?

Pointillismed! First panel obviously takes place on the Island of La Grande Jatte.

TopazFusion:What's the relation between rabbits and eggs anyway? I never did get that.

I've always assumed the link was Spring, where we see a plethora of both. Egg decoration has strong roots in Poland, though the actual practice pre-dates Christianity, where as the Easter Hare is a German Lutehran tradition. Seems natural that two Springtime traditions would get linked rather heavily. Just my 2 cents.

It is difficult to capture the complex relationship between rabbit and duck in one vignette.Their feud is ages old and their motives, forgotten over time.I think the only thing to take away from this is that if rabbits can wear clothesthan ducks can wield machetes. It is a message that Beatrix Potter failed to deliver.

^THIS^ is why you you comes here. This surreal complementing dialogue to the lamentations of the unimpressed. Keep spooning out dollups of weird, Nick.

Thank you Clankenbeard. I will do so until my spoon is too heavy to lift.

I forgot to address your initial astute observations.That bunny fleeing in the last image is, in fact, the male from the first image.If you recall, at the end of Njáls saga, Helgi Njálsson attempts to flee the burning of his house disguised as a woman.A similar fate has befallen the burrow. Helgi was discovered and subsequently perished from a grievous head wound.

Perhaps I should have included images of bunnies burning and ducks hacking but I prefer to leave that to your imagination.

I took this to be an effect of sundown in the last picture.

Alternatively, and more likely, it's just some other rabbit she's attacking because she's gone on a Batman-style crusade.

So the story is that the brown boy rabbit stole her gray girlfriend an egg.Then the swan found her nest ruined and filled with rabbit trails.And then the swan thinks the brown girl rabbit stole her eggs and kills her.That means the brown boy rabbit unknowingly killed someone with his gesture of love.

I suppose this is a nice story even though the entire thing is pretty weird.

Are you trying to say that one person's happiness can lead to other person's misery?

The classic struggle of duck versus rabbit was well represented by the cartoons of my youth.They harken back the blood feuds found in medieval Scandinavian literature.One insult begets another until duck entrails hang from trees and rabbit teeth spill on to the ice.It almost always ends in fire.

MrFinnishDude, it's not enough that duck or rabbit succeed but that the other must also fail and preferably diein a fire.

Gorrath is spot on with the egg observation.Eggselsior!

Is Vincent Price holding you hostage? Do we need to call the authorities?

And if R&P taught me anything it's that philosophy and video games don't mix.

Would it help if this was the backstory to the Atari 2600's Deadly Duck?

If you do get philosophy on your video game it is important that you use a smooth-textured, lint-free cloth dampened with tap water to clean the disk. Have it rest several minutes label side down to allow the excess moisture to evaporate.

No, you're right. The first and second female bunnies are different. Either the goose is seeking revenge upon all of the rabbits for killing her young or that rabbit is the child of the two previous ones (and considering how fast rabbits mate, that may very well be true)

And the beauty of reality is that the copulation of rabbits is essentially rape, where the winning male is literally the one who can outrun the other males and catch up to the (eventually) tired female after she can escape no more. Where mating then begins.A good evolutionary tactic where only the strongest reproduces, i guess...but not a good love story. Is there any irony intended here?Though, dare i say it, still a better love story than twilight

Fire, the universal solution for almost every known problem. Specially when ducks are involved, such cruel creatures...

Welcome to The Escapist, good sir, hope you enjoy your stay. I shall follow your struggle to the very end.

Naw, naw, the writer explained it already. It's an allusion to an Icelandic myth, where a man tries to flee while disguised as a woman. The bunny in the last panel is the male from the first.
